Oh - A Pebble on the Journey of Becoming a Lawyer
a short poem describing one of the reactions law students commonly receive when people ask what they're studying
"What do you want to be?"
"A lawyer"
"Oh"
Oh. O H. Two letters. One word.
Many implicit meanings,
But not so implicit that I
wouldn't understand.
Oh you know what you want to be
Oh you want to be a lawyer
Oh you want to study law
Oh you think it's easy
No I don't think it's easy,
I am prepared for a challenge
No I don't want to study law,
I am going to study law
No I don't want to be a lawyer,
I will be a lawyer
No I don't know what I want to be,
I know what I will become.
You have to understand that they want to see you do good but never better than them, you must remember that.

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.
